I don't think that NOSEC is the root cause.

If you ever noticed file_dentry() sprinkled through fs code,
it is only there because if that code were to call use helpers
that rely on file_inode() and d_inode(file->f_path.dentry) being
the same - bad things will happen and NOSEC will not cover
all those bad things.

IMA code also has file_dentry() sprinkled.
But it still accesses file->f_path in a few places and that
can result in bad things.

Thanks,
Amir.
